I'm surprised they haven't yet. I would think anytime. Are you sure they're roos?

also there are 20 pullets when will they start to lay?

Are their combs/waddles getting really red and developed? Any squatting?​

The girls will probably be laying any time now. I didn't hear our roo crow regularly until several weeks ago (he is five and a half months old now). I know cockerels really vary in when they start to crow, so it's not too abnormal. Or they could be girls. Do you have any photos?

Right before the sun comes up! Ever seen "Rock-a-doodle"? One of my favs!
Seriously... it varies greatly! I have some PWLH Roos that started crowing at 8 weeks, I have some OEGB crowing now at 8 weeks and I have 2 18 week old BR roos that haven't said a word, and 1 RIR roo "33" weeks old... still not crowing! I thinks "He's" stupid! I think I might name him Forest Gump!

Another 1 of my fav movies!
